Providence Public Library presents its 2011-12 series of Family Learning Sundays. Join us...every 1st Sunday of the month through May 2012, as we offer “learning families” varied opportunities to seek new knowledge — together — at the Library.

PPL’s Family Learning Sundays are FREE programs, made possible with funding in part from the Masonic Grand Lodge Charities of Rhode Island.
